Standards

The TAMIU web font is Raleway and the default font size is about 15.5 pt. Raleway is a web-optimized font selected for its high legibility and compliance with accessibility and responsiveness standards.

The Cascade WYSIWYG interface automatically chooses the appropriate font-style and font size for you, helping to ensure both accessibility and responsiveness.

Please do not overwrite these styles in HTML mode.

Content Managers also have access to six different heading options of varying sizes and colors.

Please only use these preset headings and do not add your own in html mode.

Confirmations

Website accessibility can be checked with the Web Accessibility Evaluation (WAVE) Tool at http://wave.webaim.org/. WAVE was developed by WebAIM (Web Accessibility in Mind), a non-profit organization based at the Center for Persons with Disabilities. WAVE is a free industry standard used to evaluate the accessibility of millions of web pages.

Please make sure when you add videos or images to optimize them for web. One way to do this with Adobe Photoshop is to go to File --> Save for Web --> select (JPEG high, medium, or low.) You want to select the lowest setting that still looks good.

Best Practices

Adding a caption to an image.

Simply add the code below (right caption for a right aligned image left for left aligned) and replace the image. The image can be replaced by selecting the placeholder image and then selecting the image icon on the wysiwyg menu. The caption can then be modified. The image can not be click and dragged so it must be inserted into the code where you want it to stay.
